Floppy Disk-Based Installation
Another method of installing a user certificate is to export the user certificate onto a floppy disk and
import it from the floppy disk onto the wireless client computer. For a floppy disk-based enrollment,
perform the following:
1 Obtain a user certificate for the wireless client’s user account from the CA through Web-based
enrollment. For more information, see the “Submit a user certificate request via the Web” procedure
previously described.
2 Export the user certificate of the wireless client’s user account to a .pfx file. For more information,
see the “Export a certificate” procedure in this section. Within the Certificate Manager Export
wizard, export the private key and select Delete the private key if the import is successful. Save
this file to a floppy disk and deliver it to the user of the wireless client computer.
3 On the wireless client computer, import the user certificate. For more information, see the “Import a
certificate” procedure in this section.
